Define Bluffing
Thank you M-W.com for the following:
bluffed; bluffing; bluffs
1 a: to deter or frighten by pretense or a mere show of strength
— bluffed them into surrendering
b: DECEIVE
— bluff her way in without a ticket
c: FEIGN
— The catcher bluffed a throw to first.
2 card games : to deceive (an opponent) by a bold bet on an inferior hand
— The player was bluffed out of a winning hand
Other versions of the “concept” of bluffing include slang such as:
- Poser
- Paper Tiger
- All Bark, No Bite
- Bitch Made
…and the classic…
- Faking the Funk

During many years I played Texas Hold ’Em Poker with some close friends. I did try playing at a Casino once or twice…
